The past two decades have witnessed rapid technological advancements and development of robots for rehabilitation applications, such as in sensorimotor deficits resulting after damage to the central nervous system. The increasing cases of these types of problems across the world have led to the development of innovative rehabilitation robots coupled with advanced interaction controls and the usage of integrated sensors to constantly monitor and adapt the support to the actual state of patients. These rehabilitation robots are helping patient's recovery by assisting and encouraging upright walking and by relearning of lost functions for patients affected by stroke and paralyses. According to a study by Maxon Motor AG, the company estimated that approximately 185 million people use a wheelchair daily, worldwide. Since the advent of first clinical studies with the MIT-Manus robot, robotic applications have been increasingly used to restore loss of motor function, mainly in stroke survivors suffering from an upper limb paresis but also in cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and other disease types. Thus, numerous studies suggested that robot-assisted training, integrated into a multidisciplinary program, resulted in an additional reduction of motor impairments in comparison to usual care alone in different stages of stroke recovery.

PLC is the primary computing system, which controls automated machines. The system also helps in detecting any errors or flaws and alerts the technician. PLC systems are also preferred over traditional systems, like relays and switch boxes, due to their compact sizes. Another advantage of PLCs is their multi-functionality (owing to their programmable nature that can be used for multiple operations depending on the application). Machine downtime is one of the major factors that has an impact on the manufacturing efficiency of an industry. It is estimated that downtime is responsible for 5-20% of the manufacturing losses incurred during operation. The deployment of PLC systems enables the identification and rectification of errors, and can initiate rapid responses even without human intervention. Hence, these automated PLC systems are estimated to assist in reducing the machine downtime from 20% to almost 4%. The market studied is strongly impacted by the industrial output and the investment funneled into the computers and software. These PLC systems have traditionally been the foundation of both process and discrete factory automation. The growing adoption of Industry 4.0 across the industrial verticals has augmented the market studied.

Mining chemicals play a major role in the processing of mineral ores. The consumption of base metals (like iron, steel, aluminum, etc.) and precious metals (such as silver, gold, and platinum) has increased steadily, owing to their various applications in many industries. These metal mining processes require mining chemicals at the stage of processing the respective ores. Tall oil fatty acids (TOFA) are used as collector chemicals in mining processes. It is used as a frothing agent in the flotation process for reclaiming low-grade copper, lead, and zinc-bearing ores. OleoFlot, a major brand of IOP (Industrial Oleochemical Products), is a blend of tall oil fatty acids. It is most used as mining chemicals. Enhanced recovery and selectivity are experienced in the beneficiation of phosphate, fluorspar, and copper ores by the judicious use of TOFAs, which are designed to meet the needs of specific ores at individual mines. Furthermore, with the increase in the consumption of base and precious metals, mining activities for these metals have surged globally, which in turn, is driving the global pine chemicals market, during the forecast period.

Over the last few years, headphones have undergone major technological transformations in their appearance, sound output, portability, and connectivity due to advances in manufacturing and audio technologies. The evolution of headphones is a form of mobile revolution that started at the beginning of the millennium. MP3 players have moved from standalone devices to applications on the home screen of smartphones and other mobile devices. Therefore, music enthusiasts have turned to spend their time and effort on the hardware that is used to listen to music. In-line microphones are primarily a standard feature, while wireless connectivity has become more affordable. In the future, health sensors and other capabilities are likely to morph headphones into multifunctional gadgets.

Teeth play a vital role in the maintenance of a positive self-image and appearance. While the loss of teeth may result in a significant change in the appearance of a person that can profoundly disrupt one’s confidence. A missing tooth can change facial aesthetics, which can lead to loss of bone, which may impact facial expressions leading further to social stigma. Hence, many people opt for dental implant treatments, which help to boost their self-confidence. Tooth loss may be traumatic and upsetting and is regarded as a serious life event that requires significant psychological and social readjustment. Tooth loss is very common, especially in the adult population, and can happen as a result of decay, gum disease, and injuries/accidents. Also, few people are born without certain teeth, which is called congenitally missing teeth and is due to genetic factors. As per the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS), 69% of people aged between 35 and 44 years have at least one permanent tooth due to gum disease, accidents, a failed root canal, or tooth decay. Further, as per the organization, 26% of people above 74 years of age have lost all of their permanent teeth.

The identity of the US legal industry is being refreshed and turbocharged in ways never seen before, with alternative legal service providers are at the heart of all this action. The disaggregation of legal services is underway, not driven by players in the industry, but by clients. This is mostly because of their need for obtaining value through data and expertise, not cost savings. Alternative service delivery providers are taking on a multidisciplinary approach and transforming the legal sector in the following ways:

The reverse osmosis membrane is a semipermeable separating laminate used in purification of water from contaminants and excess of dissolve salts. Reverse osmosis removes many types of dissolved and suspended species from water, including bacteria, and is used in both industrial processes and the production of potable water. The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane, and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side. The reverse osmosis system does not require heat for the process to be performed, hence aids in conservation of energy. The report covers various types of materials, filter modules, and applications of the reverse osmosis membrane market. In addition, the report has been analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA region.

Evidence-based research studies on healthcare technologies indicated that the adoption of patient portals reached 90% in most of the developed countries. This means, 90% of the providers offer patient portals to their patients in the United States. However, there are still some unmet needs of the patients that require more actions, in order to drive the effective use of patient portals across the developing countries. Despite the higher adoption rate of patient portals, the number of patients that use the portal to take care of their health is low. According to a report published by the American Hospital Association (AHA), only 30% of the patients in the United States actively use patient portal. The scenario is similar in the European countries, such as Germany and France, where the adoption is higher, but the actual use is yet to reach the satisfactory percentage.
